About this event

This workshop is the 4th in a series delivered in partnership with Glasgow Eco Trust, the Food & Climate Action project's west host.

This workshop will focus on harvesting produce & seeds to use next growing seasons. The session will be hands on & practical. You do not have to have had attended previous sessions to enjoy this one - they have been designed to function as standalone sessions, as well as build on knowledge built from previous ones.

The series is facilitated by GCFN's Jenny MacGillivray. Jenny has expertise & interest in urban and rural development, sustainable food systems, urban agriculture, education and awareness raising, composting, and food growing.

Yoker allotment & access info:

This plot is looked after by Glasgow Eco Trust as site for food & growing education. As it is a traditional allotment site, all of the usual hazards associated with this will be present. The plot is accessed by a paved path. There is a compost loo available, which is up quite a high step, & unfortunately is not wheelchair / mobility aid accessible. Outdoor seating available. Please dress for the weather. Hot & cold drinks and light refreshments such as fruit, nuts & biscuits will be available throughout the session. The session will be quite informal & peer learning will be encouraged. Other members of the publiuc & allotment holder might be present.

Organized by

We hold seasonal networking events where members share a meal and learn more about each other’s work. These events usually feature short talks from interesting speakers as well as some structured discussion of ways to develop and improve our food systems.

We also host a range of project events such as foraging sessions, composting masterclasses, professional development programmes for community practitioners, cooking workshops and growing courses.
